use of the feed reel and winding, and is used together with the fine displacement tension detector.
The applicable actuators are powder clutch/brake, hysteresis clutch/brake, servo motor (torque mode), and
air clutch/brake.
• The tension setting and the manual operation torque usually used by the operator can be adjusted
easily using the trimmers provided on the panel.
• The diversified system parameters and operation parameters which must be set by the engineer before
operation can be set using the NUMERIC INPUT (increase/decrease) keys while checking the LCD
display provided on the panel.
• The automatic zero adjustment function and the span adjustment function for the tension detector as
well as the automatic control gain adjustment function for automatic adjustment are offered.
• The operation data can be read and written using the memory cassette FX-EEPROM- 4 (or-8) sold sep-
arately.

2.2 Wiring
• Set the emergency stop circuit outside the tension controller. If the tension con-
troller performs malfunction, the unit may become out of order and an accident
may occur in the case in which the emergency circuit is built in the unit.
DANGER Connect the AC power supply to the terminals PSL and PSN as shown in the
figure above.
• If the AC power supply is connected to the I/O terminal or DC supply terminal, the
tension controller will be burn out.
Do not use the spare terminal for an external device. Otherwise, the unit may
be damaged. Perform the solid grounding to the ground terminal and FG using a
wire of 2mm2 or more.
• Never perform grounding together with the strong power system. Otherwise, mal-
functionmay be caused.
The minimum connection reguired for the one-reel unwinding are as follows :
1. Connect AC100 to 240V 50/60 Hz power supply to power supply terminals PSL and PSN. The power
consumption is 400VA when the output of the power amplifier is at the maximum .
2. Perform the solid grounding to the ground terminals and metal plate according to Class D grounding.
3. Connect the tension detector.
4. If the actuator is a powder type, connect it between terminals P and N. If it is a torque-controllable
servomotor, connect it between terminals SA and SN. If it is an electric-pneumatic regulator of 4-
20mA, connect it between terminals EAP and EAN.
5. Connect the Run/stop signals to the terminal MC1.

5. Basic knowledge for operation
5.1 Entering Run / stop signals (use of MC1)

The minimum necessary preparation for tension control is described in "Adjustment flow for trial operation"
on page 10.
This section explains the use of start/stop (MC1) contacts essential to the step (4) operational check in au-
tomatic mode.

5.2 Use of stall setting (output when operation is stopped)
Stall output is a constant torque given during the automatic control to the machine while it is stationary. At
this stage, the feedback control does not take place. This torque is the initial torque for the machine to start
with in the automatic control.
• When Run/stop signal MC1 is turned off to stop the material, the stall memory retains the control output
values used immediately before the stop. The system resumes the operation using the memorized
control output values to stabilize the tension in the material.
The stall memory function is a part of the basic functions, no need to be specially set.
• When changing materials, for example, the stall memory is reset to the output values appropriate to the
initial material diameter. These output values are called the stall setting value.
The system uses an EEPROM memory to keep the stall memory values even when the power supply is
turned off. No reset operation takes place even when the power supply is turned off or automatic or manual
modes switching is performed.

"OFF" by the output on/off switch on
the panel at the time of changing the
material. The stall memory value will
be preset to the stall setting value.
• When MC4 is kept "on" for approximately 0.5 second or longer, the stall memory value is preset to the
stall setting value.
2. Entering stall setting value
• The manual torque controller is used to set the stall setting value in the initial setting. Therefore, the
manual torque value will be the stall setting value (stall torque value) in the automatic control.

• Use a micro signal switch commensurate with DC8V
4 mA as the input contact. MCC
• If the stall memory reset input MC4 and MCC are 8V
short-circuited, the stall output is always the same as
the stall setting value.
• If a signal interlocked with the reel shaft release signal
and shaft removal signal is connected to the MC4
contacts, the stall memory can be reset automatically
when changing the material.
4. Method of entering stall setting value without using manual torque controller
----------------A special use of stall function

• In addition to the method by the manual torque controller, following two methods are available to enter
the stall setting value.
• Setting by key input on the operator screen

• Setting by external analog input
• To change the stall setting value by key input on the operator screen, use the "STALL MD." screen with
”SWITCH" on the initial setting screen or the engineer screen.

6. To use other than one - reel unwinding powder
6.1 Use of AC servo motor

The system is equipped with the SA-SN terminals for controlling an AC servomotor or a vector inverter mo-
tor that can control torque.
The SA terminal can be connected to some servo amplifiers for the simultaneous multi-reel operation.
1. Wiring (example)
Provide the torque command input of the servo amplifier with the following input.
During operation and during normal stop : Torque command SA of the tension controller
Emergency stop : Output from the braking torque controller
Provide the speed limit input of the servo amplifier with the following input.
During operation and during normal stop : Upper speed limit setting
Emergency stop : Set the speed limit input to zero.

2. Setting
• For the setting, use the "ACTUATOR" screen within "SWITCH" on the initial setting screen or the engi-
neer screen.
• In servo mode, the control values of -100% to 100% correspond to the SA output of -5 to 5V. In powder
mode, the control values of 0 to 100% correspond to the SA output of 0 to 5V. The powder mode is
completely no problem if the torque is in one direction.

6.3 Use for winding operation
The basic setting and connection are the same as those for the unwinding operation described in up to sec-
tion 5. Items particular to the winding operation are described below.
Winding control
• The taper control takes place in normal cases to prevent the material from winding too tight. Refer to
page 28 and after for the taper control.
• The direction of increasing and decreasing tension in the material in acceleration and deceleration be-
comes opposite of that for the unwinding control. Refer to pages 26 and 27 for details.
• For the winding operation, the stall setting value and the new reel preset value when switching two reels
are relatively small due to a small initial diameter. Refer to page 15 and other relevant sections.
• The winding machine or two-reel switch-over winding machine tends to get effect of significant mechan-
ical loss. To minimize the effect of such mechanical loss, mechanical loss setting is recommended for
such machines.
1. Setting
• Use the "CONTL.PART" screen within "SWITCH" on the initial setting screen or the engineer screen to
set or change settings.

6.4 Use for both winding and unwinding operation

There will be no functional differences between the selection of "Unwinding" and "Winding" in the LE-
40MTA-E. Therefore, for the switch-over type that functions both as the winder and unwinder, there will be
no problem in the winding or unwinding operation. However, observe the following
• The taper control to prevent excessively tight winding is not necessary for the unwinding operation. It
is therefore recommended that the taper ratio be controlled externally. Refer to page 28 and after for
the taper control.
• The inertia compensation in the acceleration and deceleration operation needs to be changed in be-
tween winding and unwinding. Use of gains 1 and 2 is recommended. Refer to pages 26 and 27.
• When performing the taper control with the real diameter over the unwinding operation of the spindle-
less machine, as the taper reel diameter external, input the winding diameter to A12, 3 input terminals.
This allows the taper control to take place on the unwinding side in response to the changes in the reel
diameter. Refer to page 28 and after for the taper control.

6.5 Feed reel control
The basic settings and connection are the same as those described up to section 5. Items particular to the
feed reel control are described below.
When using an auxiliary brake/clutch for the feed reel, it is convenient to adjust the output manually using
the new reel preset output NRO.

6.6 Simultaneous multi-reel control
When controlling multiple reels by the tension detection from one-reel, the basic setting and connection are
the same as those described up to section 5. This section therefore describes the connection related only.
This example is applicable to :

• Cutters to cut off several sheets at one time.
• The machine using two powder brakes simultaneously or one of the two powder brakes because the
machine cannot be controlled by one powder brake due to the wide range of torque control.

• Two or more servo amplifier can also be connected. Note, however, that the load resistance should be
1 kΩ or greater.
• If the torque variations between the reels need to be restricted, connect an adjusting resistor.
• When connecting an adjusting resistor between terminals P-N, the capacity and resistance should be
appropriate.
• When the power amplifier and servo amplifier are connected, adjust the gain on the power amplifier or
the servo amplifier as much as possible.

To stop the previous reel, set the speed limit command to 0 and give another torque limit input separately
as described on page 18.
The NRO output is to give the torque limit value while the new reel is in the preparatory drive operation. The
servo motor speed limit input (VC) should be controlled so that the rotational speed of the preparatory drive
(pre-drive) is commensurate with the spindle speed.
When the NRO output is used, select the control reel setting to multiple reels. See page 9.

the MC3 was turned on. This function makes the acceleration inertia compensation or deceler-
ation inertia compensation possible.
In the unwinding control, for example, the acceleration inertia compensation is possible by turn-
ing on the MC3 input with controlling gain 1 at 100% or less during the acceleration. The de-
celeration inertia compensation is possible by turning it on and controlling the gain at 100%or
more.
Gain 2 :While terminal MC5 or MC6 is on, the gain 2 settings are valid in the similar manner as described
above.
As an example, gain 1 may be used during acceleration and gain 2 during deceleration.

7.3 Control of excessive winding tension
1. Outline of taper control
Such control as to increase/decrease the working tension, depending on the change in winding diameter
is called "Taper tension control", in which the tension is controlled in accordance with the preset pattern,
to suit the change in winding diameter. This function is mainly used to prevent the material from winding
too tight or too loose on the reel.
Following two methods are peresently available to determine the current reel diameter:
(1) By calculating internal reel diameter.
(2) By entering the reel diameter externally through analog voltage (high precision taper ten sion
control is possible).
In the internal reel diameter calculation, the reel diameter is calculated based on the torque control out-
put. Since it is not necessary to enter the reel diameter, the accuracy is not very high.
Two methods are available to set the taper ratio as follows :

(1) By setting the taper ratio (key entry) internally.
(2) By entering the taper ratio externally through analog voltage.
Two methods are available to enter the taper curves as follows :

(1) Linear line taper control.
(2) Non-linear line taper control.

• Ιn the operational condition, when the specified output is added to the
Torque
output in actual operation, the tension shows step-like changes. The
control gain can be adjusted automatically based on the response

1. Manual gain adjustment
• When fine adjustment of the gain is required, first set the integral time, then adjust the proportional gain
according to the following procedure.
• The dead zone gain and dead zone width are not required to be changed in normal cases. However,
adjust these values if it takes too long time to reach the target tension when starting the system, switch-
ing to a new reel, changing the tension settings.

Set the value to as large a value as possible as long as the follow-

up action is not too slow when changing the tension setting, or no
hunting occurs while nearing the minimum diameter. Reduce this value if deviation

at which hunting occurs.) the actual tension remains.

Not necessary to change in normal cases. If required to change, change

the dead zone gain first to obtain the optimum value. Then, reduce the
dead zone width to a smaller value.
[1] Integral time (Initial set value: 50%)

The integral time determines the time responsibility against the deviation between the target tension
value and the operating tension value.
When a small value is set, the controllability is improved but hunting easily occurs. When a large val-
ue is set, the control is stabilized but the responsibility at the time when the unit is activated, the new
axis is changed over, the tension set value is changed, etc. is deteriorated.
Set a large value with which the follow-up delay generated when the tension set value is changed is
acceptable and hunting does not occur with a value near the minimum diameter.
[2] AProportional gain (Initial set value: 50%)
The proportional gain corrects the output in proportion to the deviation between the target tension val-
ue and the operating tension value.
When a large value is set, the target tension is reached faster but hunting easily occurs.
Set a value with which overshoot slightly remains when the target tension is changed.
The dead zone gain and the dead zone width are not required to be set (so that they remain in the
initial setting) usually. However, if it takes considerable time to reach the target tension value when
the unit is activated, the new axis is changed over, the tension set value is changed, etc., adjust them
together with the integral time and the proportional gain.
[3] Dead zone width (Initial setting: 50%)
The dead zone width specifies the deviation generated when the proportional gain is changed over.
When a small value is set, the responsibility becomes faster but hunting easily occurs.
[4] Dead zone gain (Initial setting: 0%)
When the deviation is larger than the dead zone width, the dead zone gain set here is added to the
proportional gain to increase the gain.
When a large value is set, the time required until the deviation enters the dead zone range can be
made shorter. However, if the set value is to large, hunting easily occurs. Enter a value with which
appropriate responsibility can be obtained when combined with the dead zone width and the propor-
tional gain.

10. Inspection and Maintenance
10.1 Initial inspection
1. Confirmation of selection
• Before starting operation, make sure that the tension detector, actuator, power-amplifier, servo ampli-
fier and E / P regulator are selected correctly.
• The P-N output of the tension controller LE-40MTA-E is designed as 24 VDC, 4 A or less.
The actuator capacity is selected based on the line speed multiplied by the operating tension.
A larger tension can be set in the LE-40MTA-E. However, in the case, the actuator may be burned out.
Make sure that the operator is instructed appropriately as to the allowable maximum operating tension.
• If the set tension is too small, the tension fluctuation become too large compared with the operation
tension when the unit is started or stopped, and operation may be difficult.
Make sure that the operator is instructed appropriately as to the allowable minimum operating tension
also. The guideline of the minimum operating tension is shown below.
2. Operation sequence
• Check the operation sequence and emergency stop sequence.

Especially when the servo motor is used as actuator, the motor may become out of order if the material
is cut.
Use the material cut detector and the zero tension detection output of the LE-40MTA-E together , and
set the speed limit input of the motor to 0 when the material is cut.
3. Wiring check
• Erroneous connection of the power terminal (Pay attention to the phase order in the motor system al-
so.), contact of the DC I/O cable with the power cable, and short-circuit of the output cable may cause
serious damage.
Before turning on the power, make sure that the power and ground are connected correctly and that
the I/O cable is wired correctly.
• Never perform the megger test (measurement of insulation resistance).
10.2 Maintenance
• Check periodically the following items:
The temperature inside the panel is not abnormally high due to heat generating substance or direct
sunlight.
Dusts and conductive dusts are not inserted into the panel.
Incorrect wiring, loose terminals and other abnormality are not detected.
• It is ideal to adjust the zero point and span in the tension detector again at each periodic inspection.
Especially when a tension detector used has a larger rated load compared with the actual tension, the
mechanical stress of the tension detector may contribute considerably to aging deterioration.
• The zero tension relay offers the service life of 500,000 ( five hundred thousands ) times against the
load of 35 VA or less. Accordingly, no problem will occur in the zero tension relay if it is not actuated
abnormally frequently.
